Default What would you do - looking for opinions

UPDATE:7/25/06: fogs install pics coming tonight!

What up fellow FG couper's . . .

Just looking for your guys advice....

I got the OEM fogs for my 2006 Civic sitting in my room (for the last 3 months btw), so now that I'm done with my TSX retrofit... I was going to buy some lumnics yellow bulbs for my fogs and put that **** in..... TSX HID with OEM yellow fogs... a little OEM goodness with a twist!

but now i'm wondering, do I even need fogs?

So here's what I'm thinking

<u>Option A</u> – keep fogs and actually install the damn things as planned

<u>Option B</u> – Sell fogs to get money back and use it toward the purchase of an AEM intake (even though my FG1 isn't the fastest)


Again, looking for advice, not jack *** comments Be nice and give me your honest opinion on WHICH you would not

for ***** and giggles here is a pic

Install the fogs. Increases you visibility while driving. However, the intake defintely will not make a difference. You will hear an increased sound. And may feel a little acceleration difference after 5000 rpm, but it doesn't really make the car faster. Had intake on my old LX. Enjoyed the sound it but it didn't do much at all.
